Re: THE RENOVATIONS

I went to a Wizards soccer game Saturday. My first time at Arrowhead in several years. I didn't realize what a dump that place is. These "renovations" as they are calling them, better be fucking RED HOT! And what is the deal with concrete barricades surrounding the stadiums? It looks like...

Re: THE RENOVATIONS

i knew something was wrong.the chiefs are being way to quiet about the renovations .i still think the chiefs are negotiating for more money.IMO I'm still waiting for the naming rights to be sold.ie exxon stadium at arrowhead point.

Re: Clay Chastain coming back with light rail

i have seen diffrent ideas,but the best idea i think would be to tunnel underneath,or cut and cover through downtown.then everywhere else have the tracks at street level.

Re: What is going on with the AT&T building?

because they are deemed a distraction to motorist.that is why all the new video billboards up around the city are not in motion.

i don't know about now ,but when i flew into san diego a few years back i had to take a bus to c street to catch the trolley to east county.as at that time they did not have their rail system going to the airport.which for the most part is already downtown. i still think the line in k.c.should exten...

Re: OFFICIAL - Arena construction

Actually, turning it into a video billboard (think Times Square) would also generate income for them. yes exactly use all four sides of this building to promote the arena.use a video board to promote events at the arena dates/times,etc.then mix in some giant muirals of logos,superstars,and local te...

Re: Clay Chastain coming back with light rail

i just think there needs to be a published study to back taking the line all the way to the airport.the traffic into,and out of the airport may not suggest taking the line that far north.and i don't think you could compare that with stl because their airport is larger than kci.

Re: Why do KDOT and MoDOT both suck?

Why should KCMO have to pay taxes into MDOT but be forced to form their own DOT? KCMO is part of Missouri, they should demand accountability from MDOT. I don't see how having MORE government entities saves anyone money. i think the five county area should say the hell with all of you (mo,kan)and be...

Re: Interstate connecting Topeka, Tulsa to Houston

i agree with highlander on that.but i think it was interstate 435 that had the biggest influence on the population shifting away from the urban core.and the timeline that highlander was talking about is along time,but look how long it's going to take to fix interstate 70 across the state of mo.and t...

us71 will be the route used to new orleans,but lots of diffrent things have to happen before i-49 is brought up this way.one thing is that parts of us71 is not interstate grade.another is deciding where i-29 and i-49 meet.plus the city goofed up when buiding bruce r. watkins,so that has to be fixed....

Re: Developer proposes twin condo towers on Grand (Wellington Place)

i think that this project has been built in another city.i think i have seen these buildings on a kia commercial.if these are the same buildings,then this will be a real nice addition to the skyline.i'm just not really sure if they are the same.
